Wahoo do have the pedals and GPS's to keep them going and with like most things cycling related a proportionate of cyclists always want the newest so sales should tick over.
They probably do ask the regions to bid, in reality the region who has the funds to host or sponsors lined up will get it.
To be able to have the required insurances in place the will have to demonstrate the required RAMS for the routes selected.
I really can't see how you can prove rider safety without full road closures or rolling road closures.
While watching the streaming of the ladies race yesterday I thought the same about the expansion joint and thought by myself how many riders will fall today because of wheels getting stuck. Ashleigh had a crash in a classic in EU a few years ago with a similar road detail.
Brigitte has helped and managed Jean since he started his journey for Olympic qualification nearly 5 years ago. She is well qualified and deserved to be selected and has the experience to manage the team.
Cycling SA had a selection policy irrespective of national titles with a number of classed events set out that resulted in rankings.
*edit
Also the selection policy from the UCi called for the following
-Hold a validUCIlicense issued by aNational Federationrecognised by the UCI.
-Have at least 10 UCIpoints in the Individual UCI World Ranking of 27 October 2019*
He was dishonest in the sport of cycling irrespective of who has jurisdiction over the organised event. Just serve the ban as it is stipulated and don't compete or participate in an organised event, show some respect and that a lesson has been learned.
Been discussed to ends length before...what do you expect when paying R330 for a full road closure event? Most organisers pay something towards the goodie bags be it water bottles or samples so that would equal a higher entry fee...I know what i would go for. Do not expect a medal as well you might be disappointed
Do a bit a research and you will see much worse price fixing matters that affected your daily life unless all your disposable income or credit is only spent on cycling. Lets stay on topic and wait for the big Makro announcement....they might have even made a mistake and published the wholesale price in the original sms. Other question would be if Makro purchased the bikes through the correct channel, seeing as how much Omnico has invested with Cannondale over the years being the importer, I would be quite p1ssed if they started selling directly to retailers.
Did this race two years ago and it was a blast. Route is fantastic and they have added and changed it as well, made it even better from what I have heard.
I was wondering last night while watching a GCN video...behind the scenes going through the AG2R setup....do these teams receive all the groupsets, wheelsets, kit, parts, saddles, powermeters....etc for free or do they get it at a discounted rate?
